This way your numbers are feasible.

Unless you pass the cost on to the tenant I don't see how it’s feasible to pay a 3% transaction fee for credit cards. $1,500 rent = $45!!

It's important to note that while these methods exist, they may not be suitable for every situation, and the feasibility can depend on factors such as the type of property, the seller's willingness, and your financial qualifications.

I have some potential properties that I was interested in pursuing and was considering door-knocking to see if I can come up with a feasible win-win arrangement to purchase the house rather than have them go into foreclosure. 

Both of those would go toward making this a more feasible proposition for existing SFR that you would be looking to add these to. 

It’s just not feasible.

Also, wouldn't it be more feasible that grass/weeds/etc. was actually the cause of the blockage?

I obviously can’t go out and see every property I’m interested in.My question I guess is this: when investing OOS, is it feasible to have a manager/agent/contractor do all the hands on work while I sit here in CA trying to organize stuff over the phone..never actually seeing the property?

That's about as far away as I'd want to live from Asheville, and having the home as my primary residence (to get 3% downpayment terms) has so far seemed like my most feasible route.

Now before I get all the people telling me to focus on one, I know doing both at the start is not feasible and it is better to focus on one.
